Rob Sand is running for Governor of Iowa as a Democrat. But
he isn’t following the Democratic Party rule book:
“I reject pretty much all labels, including the word
moderate. I’m pretty issue-based and I’m independent-minded. I think
what we need to do is actually end the system of ‘the lesser of two
evils.’ It’s not necessarily so all the answers belong to any one
place, it’s just to actually free people up.”
Sand says he’s building his campaign around the simple notion
that Iowans of all walks of life have more in common than the
partisans who wake up every morning with new ideas about how to divide
us. Polls are showing a competitive match-up, and he is turning heads
well beyond the Hawkeye state. See national coverage in the NY
Times, Wall
St Journal and The
Atlantic.
On Thursday September 25th at 2:30pm
ET, Open Primaries President John Opdycke will talk
with Rob about how he’s building a new kind of political campaign, his
longtime support for open primaries and political reform, and why an
“independent attitude” is crucial to moving the country
forward.
